//**the use of glass in architecture in Caracas**//

Caracas, like any city, has traditional buildings and houses; but, the city has too many modern and minimalist structures. These, frequently, use glass as a principal material, because this element offers the building a particular appearance.

Architects take advantage of glass in their buildings, because Caracas has a tropical climate, and for this reason, is an illuminated city; so, all the illumination is reflected in the interior of the building allowing a good sensation in all spaces.

In other words, glass is an excellent material because offers the building a great design and illumination. In Caracas, mainly, the largest number of buildings using glass are located in Chacao, for example: “Cubo Negro”, “Parque Cristal” and “Centro Lido”, which give a great appearance to the area.
